Interests

There are few things in life more enjoyable than riding motorcycles, particularly dirt bikes. His experience racing motocross for many years was the inspiration for recent invention Mr. Mackenroth developed in his spare time for bicycle racing. You can view a prototype of his invention by clicking the GravitySeat logo:

Originally from Boulder, Colorado, Joshua Mackenroth moved to a small town in northern California, graduating from CSUC, Chico with a B.S. in Business Administration and minor in Pre-law. He graduated from California Western School of Law in San Diego in 1993 before opening his own insurance defense practice in Century City, California.

After only two years, he accepted the General Counsel position for a risk purchasing group. Days after taking his position, the company was served with two massive lawsuits brought by much larger competitors and former business partners seeking over a hundred million dollars in an attempt to put his employer out of business for good. With no business litigation experience and matched up against big firms from San Francisco and Los Angeles, Mr. Mackenroth successfully defeated multiple attempts to crush his employer’s business and is credited with saving the company and the employees’ jobs who depended on it. He even sued other corporations who tried to take advantage of the situation by stealing the company’s customers and trade secrets.

He went on to become the Assistant General Counsel for one of the largest privately held insurance agencies in the U.S., gaining valuable insight into insurance companies, from what motivates them to settle a case to what they fear most.

Now in private practice, his practice focuses primarily on employment law, personal injury, contracts and business litigation cases. Mr. Mackenroth also handles intellectual property matters, from copyright and trademark protection to theft of trade secret cases.

Career Highlights

• During the course of his representation of a local non-profit organization, Mr. Mackenroth uncovered mismanagement and waste of public funds by state agency officials. He ultimately testified before the California State Legislature about his findings, resulting in a legislative audit of a $65 million dollar public trust fund and the restructuring of the California Department of Parks & Recreation, Off-Highway Vehicle Division.
  
• Successfully defended a client facing two multi-million dollar lawsuits, a contested divorce, and a commercial eviction attempt that threatened to shut down the business and bankrupt the CEO
  
• Former trial counsel for juvenile and adult criminal defendants and court appointed attorney for the Third District Court of Appeals for the State of California.
